When a friend dies, one isn't truly forgotten... Espially when touched by the lives of others, without asking From heart to heart, in such a loving, caring and unique fashion.
When a friend dies, one isn't truly gone... Though departed in the physical but remains in my mind's gate With me forever, regardless of their untimely fate.
When a friend dies, one isn't truly lost... But is found and lives in the hearts of all of us Simply because we love em'... the recipient of our trust.
When a friend dies, one must travel alone... Each one has his own special road, the route is created by each own Without help, each must walk alone; to our final destination, home.
When a friend dies, everyone becomes hurt... Though no mere words can ever categorize the sorrow It's good memories fused with time that helps us through tomorrow.
When a friend dies, God is still in control... Knowing that in the good or the bad, we are still blessed Because our God, not us, knows what's truly best Though how can it be explained.
When a friend dies, yet we still remain Until I see God and He makes it all clear -- at least I know He's always near I'll always remember my friend that I held dear, as I wipe away this tear.

I am me and you are you.
What we were to each other, still is.
Use my name like you always did.
Talk to me like you always did.
Don't use a different tone.
Don't look so serious or sad.
Keep laughing to things that made us laugh...
Pray. Smile. Think of me.
Let my name be said at home like before,
without special efforts and sadness.
Life signifies what it always signified.
It is still what it was before.
The line is not cut.
Why would I be out of your thoughts because
I am simply out of your sight?
I am waiting for you.
I am not far...just around the corner.
You see, everything is okay.

Now Brian shall possess that which we all desire, wisdom. No more distractions of this earth and mostly the body.-Socrates
10% of Brian was far better than zero. Let us keep in mind that we all have limited time to share and care for each other and seize the day. Hold who needs holding, mend what needs mending and admit when we are wrong or sorry, never causing pain. Thank you. My thoughts, my love, my prayers are with you all.
